Round Down to Nearest 30 Minute Interval (Query Editor)

[kylebi1]

Is there a way to add a custom column at the query level for rounding down to nearest 30 minute interval?

This is my current custom column outside of the query:

Interval = TIME(HOUR(v_nm_cic_eAgentActivityLog[event_time]), ROUNDDOWN((MINUTE(v_nm_cic_eAgentActivityLog[event_time])/60)*2, 0) * 30, 0)

I can't get this to be added at the query level, however. I need this to perform an inner merge on another table.

Hi @kylebi1,

It seems that your formula is written using the Dax function.

In Query Editor, you could create a custom column with the formula below which logic should be more easier.

Nearest 30 Minute Interval= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Time.From(Text.From(Time.Hour(Time.From([Time])))&":"&(if Time.Minute(Time.From([Time]))>= 30 then "30" else "0")&":00"))

Here is the output.

In addition, you also could have a reference of this video about Round time to nearest x min with Power Query.
